My 2007 F800S. Love it!

Great Bike

I had a 1991 R100GS for several years and 30000 miles, a 2005 R1200GS for three years and 26000 miles and now this 2009 F800GS for 1260 miles. I like the BMW's and each one has had good and bad points. The F800GS is well balanced light and quick. The power for passing is a little less than the 1200 but lots more than the R100. The engine is tractable and performs well on dirt/gravel roads. The brakes are great and I like losing the servos. The ABS is seamless and activates when needed. The windshield is too low and puts all the bugs on my visor. All in all I like this bike.

K75 or F800ST

Wow, those f800s look similar to K75s. Has anybody gone from the Brick to the F800? Size wise they look very similar. Sounds like performance is great.

Comments on K75S vs F800st?

Thanks, Brad:bikes
 
Got the F800GS home last Thursday evening. Spent friday afternoon putting on all the accessories I bought for it.

new bike

can we have a close up of the calendars please?

Oh yeah, that would have to be on another website. Maybe you could just move the bike a little closer.

Now go out and get it DIRTY! Are you aware of the GPS connector for direct wiring to the canbus? It is easy to use and very convenient.
